Larry Hama's G.I. Joe

This is the first ever G.I. Joe comic. It debuted even before the animated series. This series has a very good reputation, as the creators took the material seriously and didn't dumb anything down for kids. Give a lot of credit to writer Larry Hama for infusing these action figures with personalities and histories. This is also the first appearance of Hawk, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander, and more.
